Learning at the pace of a brigade
As at the Ritz Paris, this professional cooking course is inspired by the brigade style of organization established by Auguste Escoffier. Everyone finds their place in a structured framework, where the division of roles enables efficient teamwork. From the very first minutes, the pace adapts to your level, your cooking style and your questions. You will progress in a rigorous but caring environment, guided by professionals from the world of French haute cuisine. Chefs from the Ecole Ritz Escoffier are there to advise you, teaching the right reflexes and precision movements. They'll be with you for every step in the class, preparing, cooking and getting the most from the fresh seasonal market produce at your disposal. This first experience, both demanding and formative, is designed for all those who would like to go further in the kitchen, learn how to create great Chef recipes, gain in confidence, refine their method and nourish a growing passion for sophisticated food.
